Total ‘‘Non-hour Burden’’ Cost: None
identified. Filings are submitted
electronically to the Board.
Needs and Uses: As mandated by
Congress, an application for prior
approval and authority must be filed
with the Board by persons seeking to
construct, acquire, or operate a line of
railroad; by railroads seeking to
abandon or discontinue operations over
a line of railroad; and, in the case of two
or more railroads, by railroads seeking
to consolidate their interests through
merger or a common-control
arrangement. See 49 U.S.C. 10901–03,
11323–26. Under 49 U.S.C. 10502,
persons may seek an exemption from
many of the application requirements of
sections 10901–03 and 11323–26 by
filing with the Board a petition for
exemption or notice of exemption in
lieu of an application. The collection by
the Board of these applications,
petitions, and notices (including
collection of disclosures of rail
‘‘interchange commitments’’ under 49
CFR 1121.3(d), 1150.33(h), 1150.43(h),
and 1180.4(g)(4)) enables the Board to
meet its statutory duty to regulate the
referenced rail transactions. If the
actions for which authority is sought
create agreements with interchange
commitments that limit the future
interchange of traffic with third parties,
then certain information must be
disclosed to the Board about those
commitments. 49 CFR 1121.3(d),
1150.33(h), 1150.43(h), 1180.4(g)(4). The
collection of this information facilitates
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:58 Aug 04, 2023
Jkt 259001
the case-specific review of interchange
commitments and enables the Board’s
monitoring of their usage generally.
Under the PRA, a federal agency that
conducts or sponsors a collection of
information must display a currently
valid OMB control number. A collection
of information, which is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c),
includes agency requirements that
persons submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to the agency, third
parties, or the public. Under 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A), federal agencies are
required to provide, prior to an agency’s
submitting a collection to OMB for
approval, a 60-day notice and comment
period through publication in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information.
Dated: August 2, 2023.
